Nooo- as a college student, flipping the classroom is the most frustrating classroom-set up ever! It puts us at SUCH a disadvantage, especially for the kids like me who benefit and learn the most from personal teacher-interaction. Some, and I would dare say most, kids do not benefit from teaching themselves! Plus there's the challenge kids face at home, like family issues or no access to a computer or a good one at that, or having to take care of family members, or having to work extensive hours...no, we need better, more creative solutions than flipping a classroom!
